A new and exiting version of FileMaker launched in May. Now that the localised versions for Central Europe and Middle East are finally out, let's have a look at some of the new functionalities in this version 17.

The FileMaker Data Migration Tool

One of the most significant changes with FileMaker 17 is the Data Migration Tool. The tool isn't strictly a version 17 feature, but a stand-alone command line app that chan ben downloaded with the FileMaker Developer Subscription. The idea is very simple, the tool takes data out of one file and inserts it into a clone file. The biggest advantage of the tool is that you can move data much faster than you could with scripted imports and that you are able to predict your timetable better. Other ad
